List of Independent Variables

 > $v≔\left[x,y\right]$
 ${v}{:=}\left[{x}{,}{y}\right]$ (2)

Equations $\nabla f=\mathbf{0}$

 >
 $\left[{2}{}{x}{+}{3}{}{{y}}^{{2}}{,}{6}{}{x}{}{y}{-}{15}{}{{y}}^{{2}}\right]$ (3)

Critical Points

 >
 $\left[\left[{0}{,}{0}\right]{,}\left[{-}\frac{{25}}{{6}}{,}{-}\frac{{5}}{{3}}\right]\right]$ (4)

Second Derivative Test

 > $\mathrm{Student}\left[\mathrm{MultivariateCalculus}\right]\left[\mathrm{SecondDerivativeTest}\right]\left(,v=\right);$
 ${\mathrm{LocalMin}}{=}\left[{}\right]{,}{\mathrm{LocalMax}}{=}\left[{}\right]{,}{\mathrm{Saddle}}{=}\left[\left[{-}\frac{{25}}{{6}}{,}{-}\frac{{5}}{{3}}\right]\right]$ (5)
